DRAFT BEER DISPENSER ASSEMBLY & USE MANUAL SAFETY FIRST! Read instructions completely • CO2 can be dangerous. • Flush chemical out of beer line completely before re-tapping keg. Micro Matic has a policy of continuous improvement and reserves the right to change materials and specifications without notice. www.MicroMatic.com Toll Free: 1 (866) 291-5756 00061-D1206 0307 WARNING EXPLANATION PLEASE READ BEFORE USE KEG OPERATION 1. NEVER exceed 60 P.S.I. 1. Most domestic draft beers are dispensed using a pressure of 1214 P.S.I. and most stout beers require a pressure of 30-40 P.S.I. Pressures above 50 P.S.I. will release the built-in pressure relief valve (PRV). 2. ALWAYS use a keg coupler and gas pressure regulator equipped with a pressure relief valve (PRV). 2. If the regulator PRV failed, the keg coupler PRV will release preventing the CO2 from reaching the keg. 3. NEVER try to remove the valve in the keg. 3. For liability reasons, keg valve installation and removal tools are available only to breweries. It is important only trained professionals perform maintenance and installation of valves. Improper installation can result in possible injury. CO2 GAS 1. ALWAYS connect CO2 gas cylinder to regulator. NEVER connect gas cylinder directly to keg. 1. The gas in the CO2 cylinder is 800-1000 P.S.I. and the keg is built to only with stand pressure to 60 P.S.I. 2. 2. Gas cylinders can be unstable with the regulator mounted. The regulator may break off if the cylinder falls on it. Dropping the cylinder may break the cylnder valve off and release the pressurized gas. 3. If it becomes difficult to breathe and your head starts to ache, high levels of CO2 (carbon dioxide) may be present in the area. LEAVE THE ROOM IMMEDIATELY. ALWAYS secure gas cylinder in an upright position. NEVER drop or throw gas cylinder. Copyright © 2006 - 2007 by Micro Matic USA, Inc. All Rights Reserved 3. ALWAYS ventilate area after a CO2 leak. CLEANING CHEMICAL Beer line cleaner (CFP-1) when mixed with water is a clear, odorless liquid containing sodium carbonate. 1. ALWAYS use cleaning chemical with the manual cleaning bottle. 1. The manual cleaning bottle is the most effective method for using the beer line cleaner. It creates the turbulent flow necessary to release beer stone, bacteria, and yeast build up in the beer line. 2. ALWAYS wear safety glasses to protect eyes and rubber gloves for skin protection. ALWAYS wash hands with soap and water after using chemical. 2. Although CFP-1 is not caustic, the chemical can irritate eyes and skin. 3. ALWAYS thoroughly rinse beer line and equipment. ALWAYS dispose of used chemical in accordance with federal and local regulations. 3. To ensure the freshest beer taste, flush chemical from beer line, coupler and faucet completely with cold water before re-tapping keg. CALL physician or poison control center if product is swallowed. If ingested, drink large quantities of water to dilute chemical. 2 BASIC CONVERSION KIT COMPONENTS ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE DRIP TRAYS 4301 4933K Shank, Faucet & Knob Assembly 4334NA-3 American Coupler D System 7485E Keyhole Mount DP-6x4 CO2 Regulator Single Gauge 841 Door Spacer RK-DS4 Faucet Wrench 4350-E Beer Hose with Fittings 5‘ x 3/16“ I.D. 547C60A Hex Nut Washer 759 Beer Hose Snap Clamp SNP-6 CO2 Regulator Dual Gauge 842-2 5 lb.

Inquire with the store you are getting your kegs from for a local source. Another option is to look in your phone book under Fire Extinguishers or Fire and Safety Equipment. Companies that refill fire extinguishers will be able to fill CO2 cylinders. Stout beers such as Guinness, require a mixed gas for proper dispensing. For more information, see the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page at MicroMatic.com. The CO2 cylinder and regulator are usually placed inside one of the corners of the refrigerator. The CO2 cylinder and regulator can be located outside, with the gas line brought through a drilled hole. It is important the cylinder be kept in an upright position to operate efficiently.

Most domestic draft beer is not pasteurized, so it must be kept cold. The temperature of the beer must be maintained between 36-38°F all the way to the point of dispense. Temperatures above 38°F will cause foam and promote sour/cloudy beer. The air temperature in the refrigerator can fluctuate greatly when the door is opened. Check the “liquid” temperature of the beer by placing a glass of water in the refrigerator with a thermometer in it. Allow the water to chill for 24 hours, for an accurate reading of the “liquid” temperature. with thermometer Additionally, if the beer is being dispensed away from the refrigerator, the temperature of the dispensed beer should be monitored. This is to make sure the 36-38°F temperature is being maintained all the way to the point of dispense. To check the dispense temperature, simply pour a beer into glass and use a thermometer to read the temperature. ADJUST PRESSURE 12-14 PSI 1. Open CO cylinder valve completely. 2 2 1 2.

With cylinder valve “G” in closed position, reattach regulator to cylinder at “E”. (Check condition of regulator stem gasket/o-ring.) Open valve “G” all the way. (This is important because the cylinder valve seals in two places.) Open shutoff valve “D”. Check gauge pressure “A” (12-14 PSI) and adjust if necessary. HOW MANY KEGS OF BEER CAN BE DISPENSED OUT OF A CO2 TANK? As a general rule of thumb, it takes about a 1/4 Lb of CO2 to dispense a 1/4 barrel of beer and a 1/2 Lb of CO2 to dispense a 1/2 barrel of beer. The table below lists the approximate number of kegs dispensed from each size of CO2 cylinder. 5 pound cylinder 10 pound cylinder 15 pound cylinder 20 pound cylinder 5.00 Gallon Home Brew 28-31 56-62 84-93 112-124 5.23 Gallon 1/6 barrel 27-30 54-60 81-90 108-120 7.75 Gallon 1/4 barrel 18-20 36-40 54-60 72-80 15.50 Gallon 1/2 barrel 9-10 18-20 27-30 36-40 Copyright © 2006 - 2007 by Micro Matic USA, Inc.

Place the glass at a 45°angle, one inch below the faucet. Do not let the glass touch the faucet. Open the faucet all the way. 2. After the glass has reached half full, gradually bring the glass to an upright position. 3. Let the remaining beer run straight down the middle. This insures proper release of CO2 by producing a 3/4" to a 1" foam head. 4. Close the faucet completely and quickly.

If this is not performed, the beer will foam. Additionally bacteria, yeast, mold, and beer stone will build up and quickly degrade the quality of draft beer. Routine cleaning is essential to maintain quality and fresh taste. Residential Applications: cleaning should be performed after every keg or at a minimum of every two weeks.

Thoroughly rinse coupler and faucet in fresh water. 3. Reassemble faucet and re-connect turning faucet coupling nut counter-clockwise (make sure sealing gasket is in place). 4. Re-connect beer hose and CO2 gas hose line fittings to keg coupler; (make sure washer and check valve are re-installed). 5. Turn regulator valve to “on” position and re-tap the keg. 1 2 4 Regulator valve in “on” position Routine Maintenance and Inspection Keg Coupler After cleaning it is an excellent opportunity to check the probe o-rings (102-526) and bottom seal (102-521) on the keg coupler are in good condition. Verify the probe o-rings on the keg coupler are properly lubricated (with a food grade lubricant (FT101L) to allow the coupler probe to move freely; this prevents wear and tear when the keg coupler is tapped and untapped on the keg. Faucet Check the friction washer (4308) , coupling washer (4318), and shaft seat (4324) on the faucet are in good condition. Copyright © 2006 by Micro Matic USA, Inc.
